§ 2-8-95 — Refund of Assessment to Soybean Producer

Any producer of soybeans against whom any assessment is made and deducted under authority of this article, if dissatisfied with said assessment, shall have the right to demand and receive from the treasurer of the certified association a refund of the amount of the assessment collected from such soybean producer, if such demand for refund is made in writing within 30 days from the date on which such assessment was deducted from the sale price of soybeans sold by such soybean producer. Applications for refunds of amounts deducted from the sale price of any soybeans sold must give the name and address of the sale market or purchaser who bought the soybeans, date of purchase, invoice or weight ticket number, if any, and the amount of soybeans purchased from him for which the assessment was deducted. Within 30 days after the first quarterly receipt of funds from the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, and thereafter within 30 days after receipt of such application, the certified association shall, after such association determines that the assessment was paid as claimed in the application, refund the amount so paid as an assessment. The mailing by the association of a valid check in the amount of such assessment, payable to seller, within 30 days after receipt of the application for refund, shall constitute a compliance with this section.
